Kinovea splash screen appears, then disappears, then nothing else happens. Tried on both installation and portable versions, also tried older versions of Kinovea down to 2023 and it still does not load. Laptop running on Windows 11 Home, has .NET Framework 4.8. This is what the log shows:

Any help provided will be much much appreciated!

Apparently running the Kinovea software in compatibility mode (Windows 8) works!
